Applications

Plastics Technology

Use for internal comparison measurement of relevant plastic and polymer materials.

Medical Technology

Supports material hardness checks in medical technology production and inspection workflows.

Automotive Components

Helps automotive teams compare hardness behaviour of suitable soft material components.

Packaging Materials

Useful for routine Shore penetration checks on applicable packaging materials.

Features

Compact Handheld Design

The portable format supports practical Shore hardness checks directly at the point of use.

Drag Indicator

Max mode records the peak value indication using the drag pointer for easier result reading.

Shore A, A0 & D Use

The range covers Shore A0 for foam and sponge, Shore A for softer elastomers and plastics, and Shore D for harder plastics and resins.

Test Stand Compatible

Use HB0 and HBA models with the SAUTER TI-AC test stand, or HBD with the TI-D, for controlled comparative measurements.

FAQs

What type of hardness testing is the Sauter HB used for?

It is an analogue Shore hardness tester for measurement of penetration using the Shore method.

Which materials is the Shore A0 version intended for?

The supplied data lists Shore A0 use for foam, sponge and similar materials.

Does the Sauter HB show the peak reading?

Yes, its records the peak value indication by means of a drag pointer.

Is standard calibration possible for this tester?

An optional GNW Instrumentation calibration certificate is available. We compare the tester’s readings with certified hardness test blocks under a controlled applied load and report the reference values, instrument readings and measurement errors. This comparison testing does not certify compliance with DIN ISO 48-4. If your inspection procedure requires calibration to a specific standard, contact us before ordering to confirm suitability.
